‎Magnifique survol de plus de 300 reliures de la riche bibliothèque de Mortimer L. Schiff. Avec illustration et déscriptions en détail de toutes les reliures, mais aussi leurs maîtres (avec la liste alphabetique), pages de gardes, les étiquettes et leurs cachets.Over 300 fine reproductions of bindings. The most comprehensive collection of French 18th and 19th century signed bindings formed by an individual collector. Each binding is described in detail pointing out the special characteristics of the binder, and all but a few of the larger volumes are illustrated full-size. Doublures and inner dentelles have also been reproduced, as have all binders' tickets and stamps, these in facsimile. The section on British and Miscellaneous signed bindings is similarly meticulously treated, the British bookbindings are mainly from the 18th and early 19th centuries. The catalogue was published by Seymour De Ricci after the death of Mortimer Leo Schiff (1877-1932). 'Schiff had entrusted the formation of his library' to the 'polymath' De Ricci, and the work has since 'become a standard reference work' (Breslauer). ‎
